Kat Graham on Family, Resilience, and Advocating for Refugees

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

jeudi 18 septembre 2025 • Durée 53:58

In this episode, I talk with actor, musician, and UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Kat Graham about her deep personal connection to refugees. Kat shares both sides of her family’s stories of displacement from Liberia to the Holocaust, the moments that have stayed with her from visiting camps around the world, and why she believes small acts of giving can create lasting change. We also discuss the power of education, art, and shared humanity and why refugees are never really strangers.

Topics discussed:

Kat’s personal connection to refugee issues through her own family’s history from a Liberian father and a Jewish mother whose family survived the Holocaust
The resilience and generosity that Kat has witnessed in refugee camps in Syria, Jordan, Sudan and more and how it puts the abundance in refugee camps on display
Why education and creative expression are vital for displaced children and how this was really shown to Kat via a school visit in the middle east
The story behind Kat performing Peace Talks at the Nansen Refugee Awards and the moments that stood out to Kat the most

How Lien Ta Used Her Restaurants to Turn Strangers into Community

Saison 1 · Épisode 2

jeudi 2 octobre 2025 • Durée 55:41

I’m deeply honored to have restaurateur and writer Lien Ta on the show today. I found her Instagram during the pandemic and I’m grateful to say that she’s now a friend. In our conversation, Lien shares what it means to her to belong and how we build spaces that help others feel they belong too. We talk about her parents' harrowing journey as Vietnamese refugees and how this has impacted their family through generations. Lien shares how connection emerged as her most essential value, one that shaped her life in hospitality and continues to guide her next chapter. We also explore what it means to be a “stranger,” and how the simple act of asking a question or noticing a detail can bridge worlds. This conversation highlights grief and generosity, family legacy and found community, plus the courage it takes to see and be seen and the powerful trust that grows in between.

Topics:

Lien’s childhood dreams of cozy sitcom bedrooms and how this helped her create a sanctuary for herself in Silver Lake, believing that home can be something we construct for ourselves, often for the first time.
Lien’s family’s escape from Vietnam, fleeing by boat, then their time in Thai refugee camps, and their eventual resettlement in the U.S.
How, through therapy, Lien rediscovered her core values after burnout during the pandemic and why connection now anchors her relationships, career, and creativity.
From All Day Baby to Here’s Looking At You, Lien opens up about the intentional ways she designed her spaces to be spaces where strangers become community.
What the hospitality and restaurant industries have taught Lien about trust, grief, and generosity – especially after loss.

Health, Migration and the Power of Imagination with Thoại Ngô

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

jeudi 16 octobre 2025 • Durée 37:43

In this episode, host Suzanne Ehlers speaks with Dr. Thoại Ngô, an internationally recognized scientist and the Chair of the Heilbrunn Department of Population and Family Health at Columbia University. Thoại’s work lies at the intersection of global public health, gender equality and sustainable development, and he has dedicated his career to improving health and social outcomes for young people and marginalized communities around the world. From founding the GIRL Center at the Population Council to launching the Adolescent Data Hub, his leadership has shaped how the global community understands and responds to issues like adolescent well-being, climate justice and migration. In this conversation, Thoại shares both his professional expertise and his personal story as a former refugee from Vietnam, reminding us how resilience, imagination and community can dissolve distance and build a more just future.

Topics Discussed:

Thoại’s personal story of being displaced from Vietnam at age 12 and resettling in the U.S.
How home can be both a place and a web of relationships, stretching between New York City and Vietnam
The intersection of public health, forced displacement and climate migration
Why migration should be seen as a solution, not a threat, to global challenges like aging populations and labor shortages
Faith communities and the surprising role they’ve played in refugee resettlement and welcome
Thoại’s reflections on “stranger” as an opportunity for curiosity, connection, and discovery
